1.The Purple Gospels in Context 2. Introduction 1.THE PURPLE GOSPELS IN CONTEXT 2. INTRODUCTION: Phoenician civilization was based on the commerce of purple, a pigment obtained from the secretions of a mollusc, and their invention of the phonetic alphabet, uguaritic and semitic, written ‘boustrophedon’, as oxen plough fields back and forth, and in continuous scripts without spaces between words. Documentation of both of these comes from the fourteenth century before Christ.1 3. I. THE ALPHABET AND THE BIBLE In 2001 I organized an international conference on ‘The City and the Book’, on the Alphabet and the Bible, together with Jewish, Russian, English, Irish, Islandic, Spanish and Italian scholars. We discussed how the Alphabet and the Bible in Florence, came from outside of Europe yet are the base of our European civilization. It had begun with the Phoenician letters along the trade routes which became the Etruscan and runic letters that reached all the way to Iceland, where I have seen them on the keyboards of their computers.2 4. Before this phonetic maritime alphabet were the cuneiform (also Irish ogham) and hieroglpyhic images of the Tigris, Euphrates and Nile river valleys, as are still the pictograms of China and Japan. The Bible in Hebrew, christianized with the addition of the New Testament with the Gospel, instead adopted the variants of the alphabet that were developed in the territories conquered by Imperial Rome, the same letters seen today on the screen. At the beginning we had the Bible in Hebrew, its Torah, the five books of the Pentateuch, then in Greek, the Septuagint, but also the Gospels in Armenian, Coptic, Gothic, Glagolitic and Cyrillic. Wulfila, Cyril and Methodias invented new alphabets, Wulfila for the Gothic language,3 Cyril and Methodias for the Slavic languages,4 Hildegard for herself. 5-6.

CODEX STJORN, Icelandic with a plea as had requested Father Leonard Boyle, O.P., of the Vatican Library, that when we study manuscripts, we consult both their texts and their codicology together: ‘‘. to me codicology in its full colours is an examination of the codex as a carrier of a text. If, as is the general tendency, one simply extracts a text from a codex, then the text is bereft of its setting, and the codex is ignored. If, on the contrary, one concentrates on the physical make-up of a codex, then the danger is that the codex will be treated in isolation from the text, as though it were any codex, and not just this specific codex carrying this specific text. Codicology, then, must include the text - not of course the text as text, but as physically carried by the codex whether this be the size of the columns, the spirals of the initials, the annotations, or indeed, the smudges of the readers …’5 7-8. The Samaritans of Nablus and Mount Gerizim still treasure their scrolls of the Torah, the Pentateuch of Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy.6 9. We do not have ancient examples of the Hebrew Bible, except for the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumram, rolls placed in clay jars in caves in the desert, because worn out Torah scrolls were given burial in cemeteries as if they were human bodies. The ALEPPO CODEX,7 held for ransom by the Christian Crusaders in 1099, then kept for six centuries in Aleppo, in 1843 was studied by Umberto Cassuto, is now held in Jerusalem. It is a medieval codex, written around 920, with the Masoretic vocalization added to it in Tiberias by Aaron ben Moses ben Asher, like manuscripts now in St Petersburg, that were discovered in the Crimea. The masoretic school arose in part from the need to counter the rapid rise of Islam with its vocalized Arabic in the Koran through giving a similarly vocalized text of the Hebrew Bible to assist in the conversion of the Khazars of the Crimea. The ALEPPO CODEX was inscribed in the UNESCO Memory of the Word Register in 2016. 10. III. THE FIRST CHRISTIAN BIBLES 185-253 Origen of Alexandria wrote the Hexapla in six columns of Hebrew and Greek, using asterisks, *, for material that was in the Hrew but not in the Greek texts, and vice versa with obeli, †, for material in the Greek texts, lacking in the Hebrew. Tortured under Emperor Decius in 250 he died soon after, his writings being condemned by Jerome and by Emperor Justinian. Some of his work was translated from Greek into Latin by Rufinus, the rest was lost. Bishop Eusebius of Vercelli (260-340) wrote an early Bible in Latin, the ‘Vetus Latina’, in the VERCELLI CODEX,8 on purple parchment. The Arian Bishop Wulfila (311-383), who came from Bulgaria, translated the Bible into the Gothic language. A copy of this would be made on purple parchment with letters of gold and silver in Ravenna in the VIth century under the Gothic Emperor Theodoric. From Ravenna Charlemagne may have brought it to Germany. Sweden, conquering Prague, took it as war loot. The CODEX ARGENTEUS9 is now in the Caroline Library of the University of Uppsala. Bulgaria, six centuries later, would become the locale for the use of Cyril and Methodius’ Bibles in the Glagolitic Alphabet. 11. Jerome (347-430, coming from what is now ex-Yugoslavia), criticized purple Gospels written in uncials of silver and gold: “Habeant veteres libros vel in membranis purpureis auro argentoque descriptos, vel uncialibus, ut vulgo aiunt, literis onera magis exarata quam codices, dum mihi meisque permittant pauperes habere scidulas et non tam pulchros codices quam emendatos.”10 He had studied Hebrew, and stayed in Cosntantinople and Rome, where he was secretary to Pope Damasus I (382-385), then a hermit in Egypt, finally from 388 living in the Holy Land with the noble rich Roman ladies, Paula and her daughter Eustochium, who funded and assisted in his project of translating the Bible from Hebrew and Greek into Latin, living in the Cave of the Nativity in Bethlehemme. The ‘Vetus Latina’ had been translated only from the Greek. 12, 13, 14. Three Greek Bibles are of the greatest importance:: the VATICANUS of the IV C.,11 the SINAITICUS, of the IV C.,12 and the ALEXANDRINUS, of the V C.13 This last manuscript is ascribed to a woman, Tecla, in a note in arabic, but she was already dead in 325. The CODEX ALEXANDRINUS was given by the Patriarch of Alexandria by way of Constantinople (by then Istanbul under the Ottomans) to King James I, seeking protection from him, reaching England only when Charles I was on the throne, 1624-1627. Richard Bentley fled from the Ashburnham House fire in 1731 carrying this manuscript under his arm. 15. The COTTON GENESIS,14 in Greek, written in Alexandria in the V C., was given to King Henry VIII of England by two bishops from Philippi, who asserted it was a copy by Origen. Sir Robert Cotton acquired it for his library and from there it came into the British Museum in Ashburnham House. In the 1731 fire, it was reduced to shrunken fragments and cinders. Cassiodorus (485-585), Senator to the Gothic Arian Emperor Theodoric, in retirement at Vivarium in Calabria, created the CODEX GRANDIOR of Jerome’s Vulgate bible, which would then be acquired by two Anglo-Saxon monks in the VIII C., and copied as CODEX AMIATINUS at Wearmouth-Jarrow, in Northumbria.

The CODEX ARGENTEUS, Arian Bible in the Gothic language, Ravenna, VI C, under the Arian Gothic Emperor Theodoric, contemporary of both Boethius and Cassiodorus. This Bible created from the translation made by the Arian Bishop Wulfila in the IV C.

  • The Line of Fate in Michelangelo's Painting
    The Line of Fate in Michelangelo's Painting Leo Steinberg There are several reasons why an art historian of fastidious taste might want to look at bad art-at poor early copies, for instance, of a great painting, even when the latter survives in near perfect condition. I will need the reader's goodwill on this point since the present essay con- tinually pairs copies of little intrinsic merit with their awesome originals. That early copies may furnish evidence of damage accrued to the original, and of subsequent overpainting, is obvious and requires no argument. But copies have subtler uses. Where they depart from their models-provided these departures are patently willful and not due to incompetence-they constitute a body of criticism more telling than any- thing dreamt of in contemporaneous writing. The man who copies a painting looks harder, observes by the inch, and where he refuses to follow his model, follows an alternative, usually critical impulse. Few writers on art have the patience or the vocabulary to match the involve- ment of a recalcitrant copyist. His alterations reveal how a closely en- gaged contemporary regarded his model, what he admired or censured, or chose to omit. But while we welcome contemporary comments re- corded in writing as evidence of critical attitudes, the more pointed critiques embodied in the copyists' alterations are commonly brushed aside as inaccuracies without positive content.' One more consideration: in a strong design the detail is so inte- grated that it is hard to unthink. But a deviant rendering in the copy restores to the corresponding feature of the original the character of a decision.

  • What Difference Does It Make?1 the Greek Text We Accept Makes a Big Difference
    WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE?1 THE GREEK TEXT WE ACCEPT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE WILBUR N. PICKERING Missionary Valparaiso De Goias, GO, Brazil I. INTRODUCTION It has been commonly argued, for at least 260 years,2 that no doctrine will be affected no matter what Greek text one may use. In my own experience, for over fifty years, when I have raised the question of what is the correct Greek text of the NT, regardless of the audience, the usual response has been: “What difference does it make?” The purpose of this article is to answer that question, at least in part. The eclectic Greek text presently in vogue, N-A26/UBS3 [here- after NU] represents the type of text upon which most modern versions are based.3 The KJV and NKJV follow a rather dif- ferent type of text, a close cousin of the Majority Text.4 The 1 This article is a revision (considerable) of ‘Appendix G’ in my book, The Identity of the New Testament Text II, Eugene, Oregon: Wipf and Stock Publishers, 3rd ed., 2003. (In the online version it is Appendix H.) 2 John Bengel, a textual critic who died in 1752, has been credited with being the first one to advance this argument. 3 Novum Testamentum Graece, Stuttgart: Deutsche Bibelstiftung, 26th ed., 1979. The Greek New Testament, New York: United Bible Societies, 3rd ed., 1975. The text of both these editions is virtually identical, having been elaborated by the same five editors: Kurt Aland, Matthew Black, Carlo Martini, Bruce Metzger and Allen Wikgren.

  • The Faddan More Psaltera Progress Update .Pdf
    The Faddan More Psalter A progress update John Gillis and Anthony Read The Faddan More Psalter is an Eighth Century illuminated vellum manuscript, in its original limp, tanned leather cover that was found in a bog in Co Tipperary, Ireland in July 2006. The find has stirred up a great deal of interest, both in the book itself and in the genuinely unique conservation problems that it presents. It is the intention of this report to outline the approach that has been taken to date and to summarise the work that is currently being undertaken. The discovery and condition of the book The book was found on the afternoon of 20th July 2006 by Mr Eddie Fogarty, who was operating a mechanical digger in the bog at Faddan More, near Birr. Mr Fogarty, somewhat astonishingly, spotted the book as it sprung open in the bucket of his digger and then dropped into the 2 metre deep trench adjacent to where he had been working. He immediately contacted the bog owners, Kevin and Patrick Leonard, who gathered together the fragments and covered them with wet peat before notifying the staff of the National Museum of Ireland. We were indeed fortunate on a number of fronts that the book survived at all, that it was spotted under these circumstances, and that the landowners had made archaeological discoveries before, had a keen interest in local history, and knew from past experience exactly what to do with the find to ensure its preservation while still in the bog. The Faddan More Psalter as found with overlying peat removed.

  • Scribal Habits in Sixth-Century Greek Purple Codices, New Tes- Tament Tools Studies and Documents 61, Leiden: Brill, 2019
    TC: A Journal of Biblical Textual Criticism 25 (2020): 49–52 Elijah Hixson, Scribal Habits in Sixth-Century Greek Purple Codices, New Tes- tament Tools Studies and Documents 61, Leiden: Brill, 2019. Pp. xvi + 578, figures, tables, and three color plates. ISBN 978-90-04-399990-7. Hardcover, €159.00/$192.00. [1] Although the sixth century might be not a period of time that stirs a sensation among textual critics, Elijah Hixson will certainly succeed in attracting the attention of scholars and interested readers to the three Greek purple codices he focuses on in his revised PhD thesis, which was completed at the University of Edinburgh under the auspices of his Doktorvater Paul Foster and the late Larry W. Hurtado, his second supervisor. Codex Purpureus Petropolitanus (N 022), Codex Sinopensis (O 023), and Codex Rossanensis (Σ 042) are luxury manuscripts from the sixth century, and, though they are of different extant, they all have the Gospel of Matthew, and this is the feature Hixson makes use of for his investigation into these codices and the parent exemplar they stem from. All in all, Hixson utilizes his own singular reading method to assess the changes each scribe might have made, and he offers a tentative reconstruction of the lost Vorlage. One of the outcomes of his analyses is “that the singular reading method does not accurately reveal the habits of these three scribes,” as the text on the back cover tells. [2] The volume includes a considerable number of figures and, above all, tables (xi–xiv), and it opens with three color plates, one of each of the codices dealt with (see plates 1–3).

  • Practicing Love of God in Medieval Jerusalem, Gaul and Saxony
    he collection of essays presented in “Devotional Cross-Roads: Practicing Love of God in Medieval Gaul, Jerusalem, and Saxony” investigates test case witnesses of TChristian devotion and patronage from Late Antiquity to the Late Middle Ages, set in and between the Eastern and Western Mediterranean, as well as Gaul and the regions north of the Alps. Devotional practice and love of God refer to people – mostly from the lay and religious elite –, ideas, copies of texts, images, and material objects, such as relics and reliquaries. The wide geographic borders and time span are used here to illustrate a broad picture composed around questions of worship, identity, reli- gious affiliation and gender. Among the diversity of cases, the studies presented in this volume exemplify recurring themes, which occupied the Christian believer, such as the veneration of the Cross, translation of architecture, pilgrimage and patronage, emergence of iconography and devotional patterns. These essays are representing the research results of the project “Practicing Love of God: Comparing Women’s and Men’s Practice in Medieval Saxony” guided by the art historian Galit Noga-Banai, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and the histori- an Hedwig Röckelein, Georg-August-University Göttingen. This project was running from 2013 to 2018 within the Niedersachsen-Israeli Program and financed by the State of Lower Saxony.

  • The Titles of the Gospels in the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts Simon J
    The Titles of the Gospels in the Earliest New Testament Manuscripts Simon J. Gathercole (Faculty of Divinity, West Road, Cambridge, CB3 9BS, UK; [email protected]) Prolegomena The 27th Nestle-Aland hand edition of the New Testament is without doubt an extraordinary achievement, as are its many predecessors. As has sometimes been remarked, however, it does have certain flaws, and it is the purpose of the present article to identify and attempt to rectify one of these flaws. It is unfair, however, to single out Nestle-Aland, as the problem under discussion here is shared with other NT hand editions, such as the UBS and SBL texts.1 The is- sue to be addressed in this article is that of the presentation of the titles of the four gospels in the main text of the Novum Testamentum Graece as well as in its apparatus criticus. See also the Additional Note on NA28. The Nestle-Aland Titles The problems with the presentation of titles in Nestle-Aland boil down to six, sometimes overlapping, elements. First, information provided about gospel titles in NA27 is confined to the opening titles. Modern readers of course expect that a title will be provided at the beginning of a work, but this was not necessarily true in antiquity. Ancient book titles often appeared at the end of a text. Having discussed the placement of titles in rolls, Schubart notes in re early codices: ‘Wie dort [sc. in the roll], steht auch hier [sc. in the codex] der Hauptitel am Ende des Textes …’.2 The situation is actually more complicated than Schubart suggests3, but, all the same, end-titles are very significant, and at least just as common, probably even more common than opening titles.
